Yeh, I know! We grow lots of palms here in central S.C. ,however, just like you guys in the North, I'm always pushing the envelope here too! Y'all seem to be a great group of folks and look forward to chatting in the future! Great site!

You may have some notes to compare with other members. Laaz in Charleston pops in here once in a while.
Cheers, Barrie.

Welcome!
What are you growing?
How cold does it get there?
We are at comparable latitudes, but that is not all that matters. I suspect you can grow some palms that would be really hard for me!

Right now I am pretty much growing the standards for this area. Butias,palmettos,dwarf palmettos, Trachcys Takil & Fortunei,Med. fan pams,,Cycas rev. ,needle palms. Everythings unprotected and doing great. Too lazy to mess with "borderline" stuff right now. did a lot of experimenting 20-30 years ago and have settled on the reliable. What I lack in diversity, I make up for in numbers and size. On my 15-20,000 sq. ft. lot I have maybe 50 palms (many mature 20-40 ft. specimens. Oklahome has nothing but a barbed wire fence between y'all and the North Pole! We at least have the Appalachians!
